The 1680-25 Center Support Bearing is a crucial component for maintaining the integrity of the driveline in 01-06 Hyundai Santa Fe models. This bearing supports the two-piece driveshaft at its midpoint, ensuring proper alignment and reducing the risk of whip during operation. With a bearing ID of 1.181 inches and a center-to-base height of 375 inches, it is designed to fit seamlessly into the driveline configuration of these vehicles.
When the rubber isolator within the bearing deteriorates or collapses, it can lead to significant driveline vibrations, particularly at highway speeds. Symptoms of failure include increased noise from the bearing and noticeable vibrations that can affect vehicle handling. It’s essential to monitor the condition of this bearing, as its performance directly impacts the overall driveline stability.
- Application: 01-06 Hyundai Santa Fe
- Critical dimensions: 1.181″ ID, 375″ center-to-base height, and 6.250″ center-to-center of mount holes
